Abstract
In the last couple of years, an advanced model of language instruction integrating language and content (e.g., content and language integrated learning [CLIL]) has been increasingly popular in second language (L2) classrooms in Japan. However, the effectiveness and feasibility of the method have not been fully examined in terms of L2 development and school curriculum policies. Based on the paper presented in a graduate course “Content-Based L2 Learning” at McGill University, this paper will initially demonstrate the characteristics of content and language integrated programs (e.g., CLIL, CBLT). Then the current educational policies of Japanese government and immersion and bilingual programs at secondary school level and university level will be examined. Finally, by proposing instructional models to implement content and language effectively in L2 classrooms, benefits and concerns regarding the implementation of such kind of programs will be discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
